#

so, I installed debug mod, but the menu doesn't show up when I pause

real jacinth
#

press f1

novel bronze
#

ah lol

#

probably should've read the readme

#

sorry

undone vault
#

is there a way to set a custom alt to be the default skin?

real jacinth
#

sure. rewrite the mod

undone vault
#

I

#

wouldn't have the slightest idea where to start lurkersweat

#

maybe open the customknight.dll in dnspy?

#

copy paste to VS

#

dunno

gloomy coral
#

You could look at what light bringer foes

#

Does*

fair briar
#

or just what customknight does and remove all the parts of switching and loading a set atlas

brazen pasture
undone vault
#

like grimm knight, white cloak, starry knight

brazen pasture
#

doesn't customknight already do this ?

undone vault
#

every time you start up the game, it goes back to default

gloomy coral
#

Would renamingvthe skin as default do that same thing?

real jacinth
#

no

undone vault
#

gotta go to pause menu and select every time

brazen pasture
#

i remember seeing the code to keep the selected skin across reloads in ck

real jacinth
#

customknight uses the game's skin unless you select a different one. the default named folder is treated as an alternate skin as well

undone vault
real jacinth
#

if you don't close the game entirely, yes

#

but on a fresh boot, there is no skin loaded

undone vault
#

oh I see

gloomy coral
brazen pasture
real jacinth
#

the skin is kept across saves after it's been loaded once

#

the settings, if there is one, is a text file

#

there's no skins in that

vernal bay
#

hey

#

im trying to use Impossible Any% mod

#

but i dont know how to install it

brazen pasture
#

like so, where asd is the folder containing your skin

undone vault
#

I'll give it a go

undone vault
# vernal bay im trying to use Impossible Any% mod

Today, I'm doing my first YouTube stream, and it's going to be of Impossible Any%. I will probably go for a few hours and see how far I can get.

You might see me using Debug Mod for infinite HP. This is because you can heal to full without consequence everywhere using the statues, so I'm just doing this to save myself a couple hours of hitting ...

have you looked at this?

#

not sure if this is the one you're talking about, just thought I might try helping

vernal bay
#

yeah, is this mod

fair briar
vernal bay
#

i dont have any idea how to install it

fair briar
#

fireb0rn made a video of it

#

on how to use it

vernal bay
#

oh

undone vault
#

this is for skins, but same idea I think

fair briar
#

no

#

decomaster is not on the installer

#

and it does not cover loading and making custom maps

#

just no

undone vault
#

oh, then completely disregard what I just said then lol

fair briar
vernal bay
#

how i use custom maps?

fair briar
#

use that video

vernal bay
#

ok

real jacinth
#

does the defaultSkin setting even get pulled?

#

i'm not sure this would even get run

Hey, greetings, using mods disables achievements?

fair briar
#

no

real jacinth
#

or did you compile this fork locally

the version on installer does seem to be missing some commits even from jngo's fork. but this particual code is unchanged on my fork aswell.

rocky dragon
#

Hey yall, I'm running into this issue trying to install the mod installer

#

any ideas on how to fix? I've verified my game is fully updated

real jacinth
real jacinth
rocky dragon
#

It's in my regular steam files, and I tried installers from this discord, the github of the installer and from mod nexus

real jacinth
#

screenshot your game location

#

and you should only be using the installer from here

rocky dragon
#

why?

real jacinth
#

because it's the most recent. and we don't do anything with nexus mods

#

so some random person put stuff there

#

and we don't vouch for its safety or contemporaneousness

native knoll
#

erm, anyone know if the blood knight skin is available for public? (https://youtu.be/25Fsgj7RmXo?t=415)

The Hollow Knight modding community just keeps getting better and better. Here are seven recently developed skins for the CustomKnight mod. Please subscribe to The White Palace's official channel if you like these skins!

real jacinth
#

public skins are in the pinned drives

rocky dragon
#

This is the issue I'm getting from the installer from this discord

real jacinth
#

yes, so where is your game

#

did you just answer YES right away to the prompts that popped up?

#

you should have answered no to both

rocky dragon
#

I don't think I saw any prompts

#

can I reset it to re get them?

real jacinth
#

the installer, yes

#

and you'll want to answer no to both of them

rocky dragon
#

When I download a new installer it still throws the unable to locate game files error

dense shuttleBOT
rocky dragon
#

ty

#

Its working now, thanks

pliant lantern
orchid reef
#

why does whenever i change my skin with CustomSkin it glitches like this?

#

there all glitched outta place

real jacinth
#

have you updated your mod in the last few days

orchid reef
#

probably should do that

real jacinth
#

the fix for this was added to the installer

orchid reef
#

LOL

#

as soon as i open

#

modinstaller

#

is says

#

custom knight is outdated

#

thanks man

real jacinth
#

move installer to desktop, run as admin

fierce heron
#

Same error

real jacinth
#

what happens when you press continue

fierce heron
#

Says to do it manually

gloomy coral
#

Try to navigate to C:\temp

real jacinth
#

just clear your temp

#

windows key+r

#

type in %tmp%

#

then clear everything

tender karma
#

how do I even mod the game?

real jacinth
#

download installer. run installer. profit

tender karma
#

ah

#

I've seen people put in cheats, such as being able enable and disable items at any time. how do they do that?

real jacinth

mods

tender karma
#

whta kind of mods

real jacinth
#

depends

fierce heron
real jacinth
#

sounds like you're describing debug mod

#

yes

fierce heron
#

Ok

#

Still gives a error

real jacinth
#

same error? different one?

#

where did you get your installer from?

fierce heron
#

The pin

#

Also, same one

real jacinth
#

reset your pc

fierce heron
#

I did that once already

real jacinth
#

so do it again?

fierce heron
#

Ok ok

pliant lantern
#

@fierce heron Go to your Mods folder and screenshot it

#

by default it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods

native knoll
#

anyone know how to open .dll file? I wanted to dig into the code of CustomKnight

real jacinth
#

just go to the github for it

#

all released mod code is open source

native knoll
#

poggies

fair briar
#

or get dnspy

#

which is used to look at dll's

#

but yeah, only for mods that arent open source

void hollow
#

hi?

#

im looking for some help with modding my hollow knight

native ice
void hollow
#

yes, just installling them, I have never done it before ๐Ÿ™‚

native ice
#

I suggest you make a back up of your saves if you can, then just download the installer from here

#

?i

dense shuttleBOT
void hollow
#

how do I back up my saves??

#

sorry

tall pond
#

I want to bind my mouse 4 button in hollow knight but that is not supported so I was going to use a macro to map it to a key hollow knight does support, but I have no experience using macros and do not know any trustworthy websites to download one does anyone have any suggestion?

void hollow
#

was that found through steam, or just your computer files?

tall pond
real jacinth
#

so use a mac variant

void hollow
#

ok so I have got the modding API

tall pond
#

there is no mac download

#

only windoes

real jacinth
#

there are many mac programs that map things to keyboard inputs

#

just google some

#

and pretty sure you can remap mouse controls in HK itself, they just don't stick after you close the game, so you have to rebind them every time

tall pond
#

you are right it seems to work it just says "unmapped"

void hollow
#

the readme sheet tells me to Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight
GoG:

Copy Everything in this Zip file into the game's folder. When prompted to Overwrite files, say yes.

#

GoG: is what?

#

I cant find it

native ice
#

GOG is a platform similar to Steam

#

And what are you doing right now??

real jacinth
#

^

void hollow
#

just going through the readme in the API folder

real jacinth
#

why

#

just use the installer

#

you don't need to download things manually

void hollow
#

so I have the mod manager opened

real jacinth
#

the installer does everything

void hollow
#

with this, do I just click install for the things I want installed, and that is it

real jacinth
#

yes

void hollow
#

Il close my hollowknight and try it

#

any recomendations?

#

il try the enemy heath bar, should be easy to check

native ice
#

Depends what you're looking for, CustomKnight is a bit more complicated but adds skins which a lot of people like. Lightbringer is a good content changing mod. Randomizer 3 is also pretty good. There's also the boss changing mods that are pretty good

void hollow
#

customknight huh?

#

how does that work

#

Il download it

native ice
#

There's a tutorial for it in the pins, as well as a google drive with all the different skin options

void hollow
#

do I just open hollowknight?

native ice
#

Yea, check in the top left of the main menu and if you see mod names then it's working

void hollow
#

modding api...

#

mod common

#

that is it

native ice
#

Those are the important things, did you install and enable another mod?

void hollow
#

no

#

just customknight

native ice
#

So you installed and enabled CustomKnight?

void hollow
#

yeah, installed it

#

oh, yeah, cutom knight is there now

native ice
void hollow
#

thankyou ๐Ÿ™‚

thankyou guys so much ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Does anybody know what to do when u cannot open ModInstaller and this thing pops up on your Mac?zote

fierce heron
#

How come I'm all of a sudden doing so low dmg?

native ice
fierce heron
#

I checked

#

I have the mod

#

But base dmg is 5

#

And I turned it up

#

But still do the same dmg

native ice
#

Uhhh

#

How much did you turn it up?

fierce heron
#

Once

#

It now take 6 hits to kill one of the fly's

native ice
#

That's basically nothing...

fierce heron
#

The small ones

native ice
#

Hang on

fierce heron
#

Yea

#

It says 5

native ice
#

And the next upgrade is 9 so if you turn it up to 6 then that's basically not upgrading at all

fierce heron
#

It went up to 9

#

Normally it takes 2 hits to kill a VengeFly

#

It took me 6

native ice
vague herald
#

So I tried all the steps in the pinned messages, deleting the files, making sure the mods folder was deleted etc, but this still shows up

native ice
vague herald
#

Ahm its in my downloads

#

should I move it to my desktop?

native ice
#

That's the first step of the pinned fix for that

vague herald
#

kek Looks like I cant read

fierce heron
#

Also, I somehow have Shade Cloak

#

And it does what Sharp Shadow would do

#

But I don't have either

native ice
vague herald
native ice

native ice
fierce heron
#

I got BlackMoth-

autumn thorn
#

can someone please tell me why i cant use my mods? like the mods area didnt appear in settings

fierce heron
#

Ah

#

Fixed it

native ice
autumn thorn
#

nah

vague herald
native ice
# fierce heron Fixed it

If you have blackmoth that's probably why your nail was dealing so little damage, I think it rebalances it so your main damage soure is dashing

autumn thorn
#

i think my mod installer isnt connected to my game despite me resetting it

vague herald
#

Im gonna try delete installer and restart my pc

native ice
vague herald
native ice
vague herald
#

yep

#

In that order

native ice
#

Then I'm not sure

vague herald
#

My pc needs an update, so Ill see if that will change anything, but i doubt it will tbh

native ice
autumn thorn
#

does ModInstaller(2) count?

native ice
#

Uhhh, that probably means you downloaded it 3 times...

autumn thorn
#

oops

#

probably in my previous attempts to fix it

native ice
#

Does your modinstaller look like this?

autumn thorn
#

...

#

hhh

#

just realized

native ice
#

?

autumn thorn
#

"enable modding api"

native ice
#

...

#

Well that'll cause that problem

autumn thorn
#

im braindead

native ice
#

Usually it does it automatically, so it's not your fault

vague herald
#

fixed! Thanks โค๏ธ

native ice
#

Your welcome lol

abstract venture
#

Custom knight is just making the knight disappear when I change skins.

#

Yes, I have modcommon.

#

Can someone help?

limber egret
#

Can you screenshot the inside of the folder where the image files for the skin is with the address bar visible and also the main menu of hollow knight?

abstract venture
#

Ok

#

How do I screenshot on pc

native ice
#

I think fn+prtsc or I use win+shift+S

abstract venture
limber egret
#

Okay so what exactly is happening?

You start the game and your Knight is default and everything is okay. While in game you press pause, then click on the word sapphire on the left. Your Knight disappears and never reappears?

abstract venture
#

Yes

#

Exactly

limber egret
#

In the folder where your custom skins are, rename "default" to literally anything else, then rename sapphire to "default".

#

Close the game before you do this, obviously.

#

Then load up the game and see what happens.

abstract venture
#

Everything is now the default skin

#

Does this help?

limber egret
#

What do you mean everything is the default skin?

#

When you open the game you still have the default knight skin on and clicking everything makes no change?

abstract venture
#

Yes other then the Change skin menu temperarally disappearing

limber egret
#

And just to confirm, you have a folder inside your custom knight folder called "default" and inside that is the images for the Sapphire skin?

abstract venture
#

Yes

limber egret
#

And it's just default with no quotes around it?

abstract venture
#

Yes

#

Defaulttrue is the real default.

#

Are you still there?

limber egret
#

Huh. That's quite puzzling. It sounds like your custom knight just isn't affecting the game at all.

#

Where did you download the mods from?

#

All from the mod installer?

abstract venture
#

Yup

#

Modinstaller2

limber egret
#

Okay, rename your skins back to normal, then disable all other mods in your mod installer except for modding API, custom knight, and mod common

abstract venture
#

They work now

#

I think I know what happened so now i'll test my theory.

tranquil parrot
#

let us know what happens

abstract venture
#

Ok

#

Just a moment

pale kraken
#

How do I open the mod manager after closing it?

abstract venture
native ice
abstract venture
#

Why?

native ice
#

Cause HollowPoint messes with things it seems

tranquil parrot
#

thanks i was experiencing the same problem. it seems to be the changing skin that is the problem

native ice
pale kraken
native ice
#

Did you check your downloads folder? Also can you not just search for it?

pale kraken
#

I mean, I have it installed and I know where the installer is

#

But after I close the manager which automatically opens after installing it, I don't know how to open it again

native ice
#

The installer is the same thing as the mod manager

pale kraken
#

๐Ÿง but it installs it again

#

ModInstaller.exe

#

ok now it doesn't

#

it did twice after the first download ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

native ice
#

That's odd

pale kraken
#

but I probably messed up the files

#

or the download, I don't remember what I did

#

ok thanks

pliant lantern
#

"ModInstaller.exe" doesn't install a Mod Installing program. It is the program. If you never remove it from Downloads, then it stays there

#

||But it doesn't work well, because of special rules on the Downloads folder||

pale kraken
#

yeah, I'll move it from there

hushed sundial
#

modinstaller says it cant find game files

#

modinstaller says it cant find game files

twilit vale
#

Hey i have a question
So i just installed the mod installer and is there a way to find the application or do I have to open the Mod Installer everytime I want to use modded hollow knight

pliant lantern
#

Mod Installer is the application

twilit vale
#

OK thanks for letting me know

pliant lantern
#

It just adds mods. You don't have to launch it to launch HK modded though

#

HK stays modded until you remove the ModdingAPI

twilit vale
#

?

native ice
#

You should only need to run the modinstaller when you want to add or remove certain mods, or if you uninstall mods and want to reinstall them.

twilit vale
#

Oh ok, and revert to unmodded just turns everything off?

native ice
#

Yea

twilit vale
#

ok thanks for letting me know, new to modding so hopefully it works out

novel bronze
#

i cant finish downloading the mod instalkler as i dont have a mods folder dection inside manager?

#

anyone have a simmilar problem?

native ice
#

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. If you can open the mod manager you downloaded the mod installer, do you mean you're having trouble installing mods? And what do you mean by the mods folder part? When you install mods the installer should create a 'Mods' folder inside your game files automatically

novel bronze
#

i cant open the mod manager

#

i cant download the mod installer ad theres no mode folder being created

native ice
#

Does it give you an error when you open the mod installer?

novel bronze
#

yes

native ice
#

Can you take a screenshot and send it here

novel bronze
native ice
#

Did you get Hollow Knight from Steam or GOG?

novel bronze
#

steam

wheat orchid
#

Itโ€™s just asking you to select where hollow knight is installed

native ice
#

Okay, click the option and navigate to your drive that has Steam files in it, you can find the by going to steam library, right clicking hollow knight, going to properties, local files, and clicking browse, then finding the path at the top. Then navigate the mod installer to that same path

wheat orchid
#

In steam to get where hk is installed, go to your library page in steam, right click hollow knight, click properties, click local files, click browse local files. Then a file explorer window will pop up and you can view the path to the hollow knight folder. Go to that folder in mod installer

#

Well Iโ€™m ๐ŸŒ

novel bronze
#

found it sorry i was looking inside the manager folder of hollow knight instead of just sending it to hollow knight folder as a whole

twilit vale
#

Hi again, I cannot revert to vanilla hollow knight, I get this message

#

what do i do?

wheat orchid
#

Go to steam right click hk click properties click local files click verify integrity

native ice
#

Damn

twilit vale
#

ok will do that

wheat orchid
#

Afterwards donโ€™t open the installer until you want mods again

twilit vale
#

ok thanks

wheat orchid
#

If you see a message saying that files failed to verify, that means that it detected that your game is modded and will return it to normal

twilit vale
#

ok thanks

spiral condor
#

im new to hollow knight modding so

#

i dont know where to find ModLog.txt

native ice
#

It looks like you somehow moved assembly-csharp.dll into the mods folder but it shouldn't be there

spiral condor
#

i checked in the hollow knight folder

#

i didnt move it, all i did was run the exe file for the mod loader and it put everything in the places

#

where should i put the assembly-csharp.dll

native ice
#

Normally it's in hollow_knight_data/managed

spiral condor
#

ok

#

thanks

#

it also doesnt seem to have installed the manual mod i went to install

native ice
#

This is where it is for me

spiral condor
#

its a mod that makes compos and swarm take no notches

#

wait a sec

native ice
#

And you got it off github?

spiral condor
#

what the fuck

#

i got it off nexus

native ice
#

oh

spiral condor
native ice
#

check the readme of the mod, see if it has any requirements

native ice
spiral condor
#

i didnt unzip it and i think thats the problem

native ice
#

I don't see it in that screenshot you sent

spiral condor
#

AHA

#

it called its dll that

native ice
#

hmmm that doesn't seem right

spiral condor
#

yeah ik

#

im deleting it

#

oh great

#

there is the error

native ice
#

Simple fix

#

Check the pins

spiral condor
#

ok

#

thanks

#

also, do you know where i can find skin mods

native ice
spiral condor
#

ok thanks

native ice
#

Also I figured out what was wrong with the mod you installed

spiral condor
#

what was it?

native ice
#

From the description of the page on nexus mods

spiral condor
#

oh

native ice
#

Also it'll only work on new saves

spiral condor
#

i feel really dumb

native ice
# spiral condor oh

I also found this comment on the page for an alternate solution if you wanna have the same effect

spiral condor
#

so i dont even need the mod for it?

native ice
#

Nope

spiral condor
#

i wonder if custom knight has the young pure vessel skin

native ice
#

You can get the assets for it from the google drive and it works with customknight

spiral condor
#

you know which pure vessel skin im thinking of right

#

the one from the birthplace cutscene

native ice
#

Yea

#

Here's the pin with the CustomKnight stuff btw^

delete all of those

then screenshot your mods folder in your game files

no

indigo marten
#

alright lemme test it

#

It worked!

#

Thank you so much mickely!

#

You're a great help

At some point, you should also remove the (1) from the name of SpeedrunMod.dll. For some reason, some bugs can occur when mods have incorrect names. It probably isn't a big deal, but it's been known to happen.

indigo marten
#

alright thanks for the heads up

gloomy coral
#

How does incorrect named mods affect anything?

pliant lantern
#

No idea tamershrug

#

Jamie is the one who pointed it out to me, iirc. And it definitively affects Randomizer3 and/or BingoUI. I assume it affects other things, as I assume that the .dll is given a name within the code or when building, and that that name is referenced somehow.

tired ether

is there a mod that sets the game to 1221 from current patch, or is that done different

#

differently*

wheat orchid
#

Qol brings back some 1.2.2.1 stuff, but if you want 1.2.2.1 itself, you need to downpatch

Hello, i've installed pale prince mod but it's not working (i've enabled it from the in-game menu). i'm selecting attuned and the pure vessel fight starts in and not the modded one

native ice
#

Can you screenshot your main menu?

slender cypress
native ice
#

Are your other mods working? Cause it looks like you're missing modcommon, maybe im wrong

#

lemme test somethin real quick

slender cypress
#

oh didnt know i needed that

neon marten
#

@slender cypress do you have vasi installed?

slender cypress
#

vasi yes

#

not modcommon

neon marten
#

I donโ€™t think you need modcommon

#

But you can try

native ice
#

I'm gonna download it and see if it downloads modcommon

slender cypress
#

seems good

#

thanks!

neon marten
#

Ah. Yes. Vasi relies on modcommon

native ice
#

Modcommon worked?

#

Oh lol

slender cypress
#

letme see

#

fixed!!

#

thanks a lot lol

native ice
#

nice

#

Have fun and good luck lol

neon marten
#

Youโ€™re welcome

slender cypress
#

i've just installed the mod so im learning everything

#

I used the debug respawn player, the game stopped allowing me to interact, and when I rebooted the game none of the buttons in the cheats section of the menu could be pressed.

#

is this a known glitch?

pliant lantern
#

Are you using More Saves?

next umbra
#

yes

pliant lantern
#

Then yes

next umbra
#

oh

pliant lantern
#

It is known

next umbra
#

k

pliant lantern
#

More Saves does weird things with the debug menu

#

The bindings still work though

#

So you can either

  • make a Binding for anything you want to do, or
  • disable more saves
next umbra
#

k

#

thx

#

when I try to disable more saves the mod thing crashes

pliant lantern
#

Are you using mod installer 2?

native ice
#

then uninstall, or I think creating a folder called "Disabled" in the mods folder works

#

Validation

pliant lantern
#

You may also want to make sure that you're not running Mod Installer from your Downloads folder, and you may need to run it as Administrator

next umbra
#

it's fixed

#

thanks

#

how do i delete a binding, btw?

native ice
#

^

pliant lantern
#

It's easiest to delete all of them like that, yeah. You technically can edit the Global Settings file to manually remove one, but it's not great

next umbra
#

i really need to check pins

#

more often

Eh, it's easy to miss that one. It's just tacked on to the bottom of another problem fix

You can use debug to give you geo

damn i knew i whoud fuck up somewhere, tried doing an item+room randomizer with the random enemy mod... enemies arent random.... help

gloomy coral

Did you click the randomize enemies in the main menu

novel bronze
#

i did get a promt and it did work for 1 save file

#

but then i created another one and they didnt

#

randomzie anymore

#

ill try to reset it

#

seems like i gotta reset the game and laod the randomizer every time i want to make a new savefile

#

tis a bruh moment indeed

gloomy coral

Restart the game

Why cant i activate the cheats?

why would you wanna activate cheats in the first place

that takes away the fun of difficulty

Hi I wanna play multiplayer with my friend but we can't see each otehr

I get that, but using cheats gets rid of a lot of the fun

#

More saves messes with mods that add ui, so if you have it disable it

north bear
#

also charm overhaul gets rid of pogos and doesn't let you gain soul from certain bosses

wheat orchid
#

My guess was it isnโ€™t actually ui it messes with, but stuff to do with save file stuff(mod settings, Playerdata)

north bear
#

mods are weird when they're stacked top of one another

wheat orchid
#

Not usually

#

Well

#

Depends on what they add

#

From the mods Iโ€™ve seen and worked on theyโ€™re meant to be compatible with other mods. Some mods purposely donโ€™t have that in mind

empty cave
wheat orchid
#

Mods that add new charms are meant to work with other mods adding new charms, while mods that replace charms are meant to be incompatible with other mods that replace the same charms

wheat orchid
#

Global settings is there for saved data that isnโ€™t specific to a save

empty cave
#

yeah but stuff like save file detection is hard to do when modding

#

it feels like

wheat orchid
#

?

#

Wdym

empty cave
#

i've only been looking at files, not making mods, so i'm mostly just thinking to myself right now

#

like... i know some mods that, when you enable a certain setting, it enables it for another save file than the one you're using

wheat orchid
#

Which mods?

#

Also is this a setting in the global settings

gloomy coral
#

Mod can't randobmnly change data in other save files

wheat orchid
#

Yeah

gloomy coral
#

Unless you open them

empty cave
wheat orchid
#

Theyโ€™d have to go out of their way to load that save then save it

empty cave
#

maybe my memory is just... slightly hazy?

Heya here! After more than a hundred hours on my first file, I used ModManager (v8.7.1) to make myself a new save file with mods to make the game easier - cause I love it but I was going crazier with it's difficulty -. But now I want to came back to my old safe file in vanilla, to try Path of Pain for the first time on my "legit" save-file. The problem is, I have used the "reverse back to unmodded/vanilla game" button on the mod manager, and it seemed to work, but when I'm loading a file (a new one made just for making sure the mods where loaded or not) the mods are still loaded, and in function (the blue hearts from easy mods are here, the bonfire and teleport options too, I didn't check for the rest of it tho). Anyone can help me with that? I really don't want to risk compromise my original save with mods, and I don't want to uninstall all of the mods, since I plan on continuing my modded play through too someday :<

fair briar
#

go to stea

#

m

#

right click hk

#

properties > local files> verify integrity

#

if you want mods again just simply open the installer

frosty bobcat
#

I'll try that, thank you!

#

o7

#

It worked, thank you so much \o/

#

You'r an angel dear ๐Ÿ’™

spark nexus
#

probably a super dumb question, but can you run 'Enemy Randomizer' and random items from 'Randomizer' at the same time?

fair briar

yes

willow lichen

I have a glitch in my hollow knight where I can regen 6 masks only using 40 soul. I don't have any mods installed. I also tried verifying game files, but it still doesnt do anything. What should I do?

#

hey, does anyone know if modding is possible on mac

stone light
#

I'm trying to mod on my brother's macbook air but the only modinstaller i've found for mac won't open

dense mural
#

what pins are relevant to modding Hollow Knight for Lightbringer

honest flax
#

visit ther

#

there

chilly torrent
#

is there an infinite charm notch mod, i cant find one

honest flax
#

it should be the mac version

#

@stone light

stone light
#

thank you I'll see if it works

honest flax
#

no problem sherma

dense mural
#

do mods only apply to one save file?

honest flax
#

no

#

it applies to the whole game

#

every mod

#

some mods can affect saves however-

#

like HollowShot

stone light
#

it says that's for version 13.0 or later

honest flax
#

huh?

#

version 13.0 of what

stone light
#

MacOS version 13.0 0r later

honest flax
#

so your system is incompatible?

#

that sux

dense mural
#

i'm assuming the modinstaller is safe, my pc is blocking it

stone light
#

yeah it's like version 12.3 or something

honest flax
#

yeah. it is

strong ruin
#

So when you mod the game what are you editing. Is it unity? Or what is it?

chilly torrent
#

is there an infinite charm notch mod? i cant find one.

honest flax
dense mural
#

i don't really want it to mess with my main save file

"You canโ€™t open the application โ€œModInstaller-3โ€ because it may be damaged or incomplete."

fair briar

right click it and press "open package contents"

stone light
#

okay

fair briar
#

open modinstaller2

stone light
fair briar
#

i have no idea sorry

stone light
#

thank you for trying to help, do you know what's supposed to happen when I open it?

fair briar
#

it should just open a application

fair briar
honest flax
#

oh sorry im udm

#

dum

stone light
#

oh okay, that's odd because it says I actually have to use an application to open it and it will only let me use terminal

fair briar
stone light
#

oh how do you do that?

fair briar
#

download that

#

then navigate to the hollow knight folder

#

u using steam?

stone light
#

I am

honest flax
#

ruttie can't you just manually install mods in mac? that's my idea, though it is a little uncomfortable way of doing it...

#

especially on mac

fair briar
#

i meant manually xD

honest flax
#

i dont know how dlls would function in mac

fair briar
#

unity handles it

chilly torrent
#

um... how do i toggle mods in-game. it's not currently working.

honest flax
#

just click Disable

fair briar
# stone light I am

go to steam > right click hk > properties > local files > browse local files

honest flax
#

OHHHH I SEE what you mean

#

some mods aren't toggleable in-game@chilly torrent

#

you may have to toggle them outside the game

chilly torrent
#

i dont have the mod installer

honest flax
#

oh

#

do you know where is the Mods folder?

chilly torrent
#

ye

honest flax
#

you want to disable the mod right

chilly torrent
#

i kinda pirated the game bc it isnt illegao to do so in my country o_o

honest flax
#

go create a subfolder in there (you may want to call it "Disabled", it's up to you)
then move the DLL into there

fair briar
chilly torrent
honest flax
fair briar
honest flax
fair briar
honest flax
#

but yeah

#

sadly pirated copies don't work with mods

fair briar
#

replace it with the one you downloaded

stone light
#

wait

honest flax
#

from the pins

stone light
chilly torrent
stone light
#

which one gets me to managed

honest flax
#

Data should be it

#

I don't know

stone light
#

nothing is in the managed folder

fair briar
stone light
fair briar
#

Contents => Resources =>
Data => Managed.

#

so first into recources

stone light
#

okay i see

#

so i take the folder from earlier and drag it onto here?

fair briar
#

yeah replace it with the one you downloaded

#

no only the assembly-Csharp.dll

stone light
#

yeah I just drag it onto that file?

fair briar
#

ye

stone light
#

so now the assemblyCsharp is in the other file?

fair briar
#

?

stone light
honest flax
#

Replace the assembly-csharp found in the original folder with the modified one

#

That... should be simple

fair briar
#

enter Hollow_Knight_Data and then managed and get teh dll from there

#

and place it in the Resources > data > managed folder

stone light
#

okay cool yeah I did it

fair briar
#

then run the game

honest flax
#

You should see Modding API 1.4.3.2 at top-left of the game window.

#

I wonder if 1.4.3.2 mods work in the public beta, now that there is a modding api for the public beta

fair briar
#

no

#

its a complete new .net framework

#

some might work

honest flax
#

Yeah, guessed so.

fair briar
#

but the majority not

#

wait no

stone light
#

sorry did i mess up?

honest flax
#

No?

fair briar
#

in vs you need to target a specific framework

honest flax
#

Check the ESC menu

fair briar
stone light
#

okay

#

if i go into options can click mods but there aren't any

fair briar
#

oh ok

honest flax
#

The mods there are only the toggleable mods

fair briar
#

no screen needed if that option is there

honest flax
#

Most of the mods aren't... toggleable

honest flax
#

And I assume you don't have mods installed yet

fair briar
#

go to that link

stone light
#

oh okay perfect

honest flax
fair briar
#

and you'll see a bunch of names with download links

stone light
#

yeah

fair briar
#

now in managed there should be a new folder

honest flax
#

Yeah if there are any dependencies, make sure to download them. (If they only say Modding API, don't install anything because you already have it)

fair briar
#

called "Mods"

honest flax
#

Mods should appear in the Managed folder

fair briar
#

in that folder, place the files you download via the links

honest flax
#

hollow_knight_Data>Managed>Mods i assume

fair briar
#

and you should be all done

stone light
#

for the game? or the managed folder for

#

okay

fair briar
#

the readme's are in pins

honest flax
#

Yeah

fair briar
#

but i gtg

#

kaangaming can probs help you further

stone light
#

okay so whichever ones I want I just place in there?

#

okay thank you so much!!!

honest flax
#

Download the mod DLLs, then put the DLLs you downloaded into there.

#

You may want to download them from the modlinks.xml only

stone light
#

so don't replace any of the files in there?

honest flax
#

I mean

#

Put the DLLs inside the Mods folder you found

stone light
#

okay i'll download some from the link ruttie sent

honest flax
#

Once you open the game if you look at the top-left you should see some text by the way, that will confirm that you installed the modding api and mods are ready to be installed

stone light
#

okay i'm sorry I'm so new to this, how do I download the mods from the link?

honest flax
#

You may see something like this

#

These are like mod blocks

#

Look inside the link field

#

There should be a link

#

only copy the link part of it and paste it inside a new tab's url field

stone light
#

okay I thought so, nice

honest flax
#

If there are any other dependencies aside from Modding API, you must download them for it to work

stone light
#

ok i see the modcommon.dll

honest flax
#

Also make sure to read the text document attached inside the link's zip folder, that may give you some insight into the mod itself you are downloading

stone light
#

okay sounds good

#

so you said to put that dll in the mod folder but when I open to the place where I found the assemblyC-sharp like ruttie said, I don't see a mod folder anywhere

honest flax
#

Mods folder right

#

It should be in the Managed folder

#

If you can't find it create a new Mods folder

stone light
#

okay cause yeah I don't see any mod folder in there

honest flax
#

Delete the Assembly-CSharp.dll

stone light
#

okay done

honest flax
#

Then rename the other Assembly-CSharp...tpass.dll into Assembly-CSharp.dll

#

Oh actually

#

Wait

stone light
#

ok

#

oh

#

what

honest flax
#

Actually nevermind, rename the Assembly-CSharp.dll back into

stone light
#

okay got it

honest flax
#

Put the Assembly-CSharp.dll you found inside the zip into there

stone light
#

wait so the same one I had on before?

honest flax
#

Huh?

#

Did you download the Modding API zip? Should have this name

stone light
#

yeah I had already replaced that AssemblyC-sharp file

#

oh but you want the .xml one?

honest flax
#

Oh yeah i guess we accidentally deleted that copy so you have to do that, sorry for the inconvenience...

#

Nah the DLL one will do the job

stone light
#

okay let me get it back no worries

honest flax
#

That should be it

stone light
#

okay

honest flax
#

Can you check the game and see if it has the Modding API text at top-left?

stone light
#

so I don't do anything with the mod.dll

honest flax
#

So we confirm that it works

stone light
#

yeah

honest flax
#

You should create a Mods folder

stone light
#

I don't see the text

honest flax
stone light
#

let me quit the game and restart

honest flax
#

ok

stone light
#

i just made a mods folder in the managed

honest flax
#

Then we should move on to installing a mod, for example, ModCommon

stone light
#

okay cool

honest flax
#

Navigate into there and you should see this

#

Put that into the mods folder

#

Reboot the game and see if it displays ModCommon at top left

stone light
#

okay wait one sec I rput the wrong assembleC-sharp

#

okay

#

i'll reboot it now and see if that appears

honest flax
#

I'm gonna give an example of the thing you should see in-game

stone light
#

it's just a black screen the game won't come up

honest flax
#

Huh?

#

As far as i know you should see this first

#

@stone light Do you see the white bar?

stone light
#

no my game isn't coming up

honest flax
#

Huh

stone light
#

okay it's going now

honest flax
#

I redid the steps as i said and it's working fine, hmm...

#

oh

#

really?

#

What do you see at top-left

stone light
#

there's no mod option in the options anymore though

#

just black

#

there isn't the bar

honest flax
#

Wait huh?

#

Maybe we did something wrong

stone light
#

I'm going to redownload the API so i know I have the right AssemblyC-sharp

honest flax
#

Ok

stone light
#

okay

#

and just to make sure

#

this is what I was supposed to put in my mods folder right?

honest flax
#

I mean you can put any mod in your mod folder

#

Yeah

stone light
#

i see it

#

in the top left

#

yayyy

honest flax
#

NICE!!!!!!!

#

YAY!!!!!!!

stone light
#

omg yay

honest flax
stone light
#

and I just put those dll's in the mod folder?

honest flax
#

Uh huh
